Rob Marshall’s “Nine” musical is almost upon us. New songs leaked this weekend, junkateer screenings happened this weekend — everyone’s first born was evidently promised if they spoke out of turn — and you can just feel this one set to pop any moment now. Meanwhile a boatload of new press images have been released.
Our favorites are featured here throughout. A commenter recently quipped at another commenter on our site who thought it looked boring, “So straight men don’t like seeing women in movies now?” And well, we have to concur, Penelope Cruz looks… ravishing (she also looks great in these photos). Marion Cotillard is always heavenly and even Kate Hudson who we’re not huge fans of looks great. It’s interesting to note how much of a minor character Nicole Kidman’s character appears to be. Ok, Fergie still looks… unpleasant, but whatever. We’re still not sure who the “lead” female is exactly, but it seems to be Cruz with Cotillard as a close second.
Nine” hit theaters December 18 in limited release and then December 25 wide. Most of our audience (and some writers) don’t seem to care for “Chicago,” but this writer stands behind that one as a great film. Screenings of this one soon, please? The “big four” (“Nine,” “Avatar,” “Invictus,” and “The Lovely Bones” still elude most of us.
